The Michelada

The Mexicans know how to deal with heat better than you do. They don’t just drink their beer—they doctor it, and then it doctors them.

• Salt (something with large crystals, like kosher or sea salt)

• Juice of 1/2 lime

• Tabasco or preferred hot sauce

• Worcestershire sauce

• Beer (a light pilsner seems to work well, but you can go dark with interesting results)

• Lime wedge

Salt the rim of a chilled pilsner glass. Toss in the lime juice and a dash of the Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce to taste. Fill the glass with ice and pour the beer to the brim. Garnish with the lime wedge and take the rest of the day off.
